Give some examples of deterministic effects. - CORRECT ANSWER - erythema, GI
syndrome, hematologic syndrome, CNS syndrome
Law of Bergonie and Tribondeau - CORRECT ANSWER - -Stem cells are radiosensitive;
mature cells are radioresistant.
-Younger tissues and organs are radiosensitive.
-Tissues with high metabolic activity are radiosensitive.
-High proliferation rate for cells and high growth rate for tissues result in increased
radiosensitivity.
